Senna Leaf (Cassia marilandica)

Senna is a powerful natural laxative that can be used to promote the vigorous evacuation of the bowels and is also very helpful in relieving severe constipation and when an easily-passed stool is recommended prior to a colonoscopy or after rectal surgery. Use this herb in combination with warming, stimulating and antispasmodic herbs such as Ginger, Cloves, Fennel, Cinnamon or Coriander. When combined it can even be used for children, the elderly and sensitive individuals.

The herb has been officially listed in both the British Pharmacopoeia and the United States Pharmacopoeia, and it is one of the few herbal medicines approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter use and may be one of the most widely used herbal medicines in the United States.

Senna has been used to destroy and expel worms and parasites from the intestinal tract. And by cleansing the colon, it may have positive results in improving skin afflictions like pimples/acne, etc., and helping in cases of obesity. Internally it has been used to relieve malarial-type fevers and chills, biliousness, dyspepsia, stomach disorders, jaundice, diphtheria, fevers, and fissures.

This herb may cause cramping, nausea, and diarrhea, and the urine may take on a reddish hue (that is harmless). Long-term use is not recommended (more than one week at a time), since it may cause dependence and a weakened colon, aggravate constipation and result in a loss of potassium and other vital minerals, which is particularly dangerous to people with heart rhythm irregularities. Chronic constipation is usually indicative of another condition and should always be discussed with a physician.
